Pachuari said that Singh would shift to the new bungalow as soon as the next incumbent takes oath.
The residence at 3, Motilal Nehru Marg, a type VIII bungalow which comes under the CPWD and is spread over 2.5 acres, was vacated by former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit recently.
The four-bedroom bungalow with well-maintained lawns and office space meets the requirements of a former Prime Minister.
Designed during the British era, the bungalow has been given a new paint job and the shining Doric columns in its portico only enhance the beauty of the building, which will soon be another landmark on the VIP address map of the city.
The new address, area-wise, falls under the jurisdiction of the New Delhi Municipal Council. Its top official said, “NDMC would do whatever is required of it, even though the bungalow belongs to CPWD”.
